Located just minutes from the United States-Mexico border, the City of Alamo has a unique history and our community is dedicated to preserving and maintaining traditions that bridge the gap between two distinct countries with a vibrant culture. From quinceañeras with a modern day twist to Christmas posadas, our community’s bonds are strengthened by our collective cultural identity that is truly one-of-a-kind.Read More
